If youre happy with 1080p for gaming (and why not, still has a lot to offer) then this looks like a fantastic option for those who are looking for a cost effective monitor. Yeah haters will go on about the size of the panel but some people dont NEED a 27" one, a 24" one is just fine. Thanks Mike and Kath 🙂
Sorry bob, but I'm a hater. My minimum size is 27" I had a 24" once and went to a 27". Never looked back. See you tomorrow in the Live Stream mate. Take care. Cheers
Personally I use a 21.5" 1080p and it feels like a nice size. If one day I can get a better PC I wouldn't want anything bigger than 24 or maybe 25" to be honest. 27" would probably be too much for me. My only personal worry is how good the image will be. 1080p in 21.5" looks nice for me, but of course the pixel density will decrease in a larger monitor, like 24". Sadly there are no 24 or 25" 1440p in my country. I guess I would need to see a 24" 1080p monitor in person. I assume it's probably good enough though
Can you please review the new msi G244F E2. I looked the whole internet but couldn't find the OSRTT test result of this monitor to know it's real performance. Please help 🙏🏻.

Went to a job interview today, interview number 8 for the year! 95 job applications and only 27 responses which include those 8 interviews! How’s that for my country screaming 🙀 for workers because there’s a so called skills shortage! Yeah right!
Interesting review of seemingly well priced monitor! Amazon link goes to 27" high end monitor. So will check on pc. One question is would you see big diff in games if went 27" / 1440p or would items appear smaller? Thanks Mike and Kath 🐈👍

Nice review, MSI does make good monitors and so do Benq. I love ''high quality'' 1080p monitors and they also allow you to play at high refresh rates without breaking the bank. I've never been fussy over picture sharpness not being as clear as 1440p when it came to gaming. My only issue with 1080p is that it puts way too much stress on the CPU while gaming. I have my 7700XT literally chilling out with it's fans not spinning when i play a game, while the CPU does the heavy lifting.. (5800X3D) This is definitely a sign that I have to move on to 1440p in the near future. Maybe ill find myself looking at a nice winter sale this year..cheers Mike!
Adaptive Sync is an open standard and FreeSync is AMD's version of Adaptive Sync that typically favours AMD GPUs but also works with Nvidia cards, so although not exactly the same thing, the term is often used interchangeably
What about motion clarity in the UFO test? I want to buy this monitor but I'm not sure about the motion clarity and response time. I'm struggling to decide between this monitor, the Viewsonic vx2428 and the AOC 27g2sp.

not used the gigabyte model so hard to say really, but if it is like the 27" model there won't be much between them so i would look at your loacl pricing and warranties otherwise they are both very similar so either is a good choice at the same price range

Do you remember what overdrive setting you were using? You don't mention and the only hint is Overdrive "Middle".
overdrive middle is the best one for me
Great review again 👍

i'll see what i can do
@@mikesunboxing thank you Sir, I'll be waiting. I'm looking to buy this in next big Amazon sale in my country (27 sept) in around 115 $
Hello, will it work at 120 Hz on Xbox Series S?

not sure if the series s will do that but the monitor will if the console allows
Hi need help to choose between these two they are in same price range for me
LG UltraGear 24GN65R-B vs this one in the video
never seen the LG one sorry so i can't say for sure
This is a great high fps monitor at a vg price!
Also .... wtf is with these monitor names ahahahahahahaha
it is like they have a scrabble set and just throw a bunch of letters on the desk and viola! new monitor name
This and the aoc 24g4 have the same price which one to buy ?
i would probably go with the msi one personally
As for the other computer retailers I’m not sure if they have any , I know 2 of them don’t carry fractal cases as for the other 2 I doubt it!
Which would you prefer AOC 24G2Sp or this?
probably whichever is cheaper at the time
@@mikesunboxing I live in Pakistan, they’re both priced almost the same, the difference is a maximum of like 10 pounds

1440p for me is the sweet spot.
Thanks for this great video, what do you think about the monitor in terms of color and brightness?
It's good and for the money is it hard to see how they manage it
How is this monitor for playing i want to buy this one to play in xbox series s.
that would be great
This or the Koorui 24e3
probably this i think, koorui are okay but long term i'm not so sure
Hi !! which one to buy gigabyte g24f2 or g255pf 2e
i think i prefer the msi one, but both are good choices
6:21 Could you please test other overdrive settings? I think you only tested the normal overdrive. The fast overdrive is the best.
faster overdrive makes it faster but with horrible overshoot and looks worse than the tests would otherwise give you the impression of
@@mikesunboxing there is Normal, Fast, and Faster. I was talking about Fast.
does it have adaptative sync? in the page of msi show it just have freesync
Adaptive Sync is an open standard and FreeSync is AMD's version of Adaptive Sync that typically favours AMD GPUs but also works with Nvidia cards, so although not exactly the same thing, the term is often used interchangeably
@@mikesunboxing does it come with a display port cable ?
@@klooomy1520 depends on your region. If you look it up on the MSI website it will tell you what is included in the box in your particular area
can i use it with mac?
yes you can
What about motion clarity in the UFO test? I want to buy this monitor but I'm not sure about the motion clarity and response time. I'm struggling to decide between this monitor, the Viewsonic vx2428 and the AOC 27g2sp.

i have this Monitor Can u upload good ICC profile Calibration file here please
sorry i don't have it here now, it was a review sample that was returned afterwards
@@mikesunboxing thank u bro
Hi, congratulations for the video. Do you have any tips for monitor calibration?
i usually opt for using the SRGB mode that seems to be the closest to a proper calibration you can get if you don't have calibration hardware and software
I got this monitor yesterday it is such a good monitor and its beautiful
awesome! glad you like it
This monitor have vibrance color settings?
not sure sorry and i don't have it here now to take a look, but the user manual should have all the details in there if you want to have a read of it

Not many options in my country but what i narrowed it down to is this one and lg 24gn650-b, which one would u go with?
yeah this will be great and for the money it is hard to complain to much.
MSI G255F vs MSI G244F E2
which is better ?
effectively they are the same really, i would probably go with the bigger one personally
What is contrast on this one?
1000:1 or with DCR 1000000:1
can i remove the black border near the bottom side of the monitor? I find it really annoying
not sure whick part you mean? the bezel?
@@mikesunboxing what i meant was that how do i remove the black border near the bezel( the part where the msi logo is placed) near the bottom
Can this monitor run 120 fram on xbox series s?
yes it can from what i can tell
Can you review MSI G274QPF E2
i will see what i can do
Would a ps5 work using this monitor? (Please answer it will help)
yes it will
@@mikesunboxing did it had VRR and HDR ?
Can you turn this moniter vertical?
not on this stand, but if you get a desk mount or wall mount you can
@@mikesunboxing You do it at 5:30 !
VG249Q3A or Msi G255pf E2?
probably the msi, but would depend on the price as well if one was a lot cheaper than the other
which one would you choose, this MSI G255PF or AOC 24G4?
both are good choices to be honest, i might be looking at prices and see which one is more competitive
@@mikesunboxing here the G255PF is slightly cheaper around 10$ different. but I'm a little hesitant due to the lack of people buying this monitor😅
Are viewing angles decent on this ?
yes no problems when i tested it
Thanks for the quick reply, really does tick every box for my needs then
•viewing angles
•fast refresh
•IPS
•Excellent versatile stand
•half decent built in speaker
•currently £100

@@garycormack Let us know what you think of it 🙂
Hi is this the same as a g255F
@ramentamago4094 wdym?, oooh I see it has no height adjustment
similar just a different stand it seems
Too small for me, 32" is the size I like..
Other than that, a very nice monitor.. Cost more than I paid for my LG 180hz 32" IPS nano led screen, but that was used (only for a couple weeks though)..
Link for Amazon is for 27".. Which the price is £349.. So the 24" is less than I paid for my monitor..
Fair enough!
the links are being updated when stock arrives. so at the moment it is a placeholder
IPS panels are very good but I’m not interested in tiny monitors Mike!
sit closer :-) it gets bigger
